MY #1: 1993 Round 1, Pagan's first game as coach and Nathan Buckley's first game for the Bears at the MCG. Early in Q1 Buckley get's the ball from the bounce in the centre square, tries to baulk around one player and ends up getting tackled and put a scrubby kick forward. The bloke in front...
Schimma is in the team of the century. Beside Carey and Blight, he belongs there, on the sexiest half forward line up of all time.

We have to give serious thought as to who gets #6. The ONLY players to wear that number for the last 70 years are Reeves, Dugdale, Briedis, Fairley, Grant, Hansen.

There is a photo somewhere in The Football Record Yearbook or something of Stevo just before the centre bounce in the 1999 Grand Final. He's got hand on the shoulder of a confused looking North Melbourne mascot, as the young lad was lost and in the MCG on it's biggest day, couldn't work out...
Very much a modern swingman player, before his time. Not overly big at 183cm, but had a great leap. I may stand corrected on this but I am pretty sure he kicked 9 goals in a game about 1979 against maybe St Kilda or Melbourne? Which stood until the 90s as one of the biggest hauls by a North man.
I watched the whole match in a pub in Singapore, where I was the only North supporter among several Bomber fans. Made enough noise for everyone to know who I was going for in that 3rd quarter revival, lubricated by several James Boags.
I think a key point that is missed here is the costs to the club of servicing such a debt. The reduction of a Million will free up cash that can go into other areas and make the club stronger.
I was only a kid when Dench played, but he really changed what it was to be a full back. When full backs were by and large negative players, he would set up attacking plays from the position. For those who are not old enough, think Matthew Scarlett, who always reminded me of Dench when he...
Was Nathan Buckley's first game, he gathered the ball in the centre in the first quarter, he tried to get around a North player and didn't quite manage it, ending up with a scrubby under pressure kick forward. The wag in front of me jumped up and shouted "Yes! They move a bit faster here in the...
Had no idea they are going for such a price now. I have a '97 edition with a lot of autographs on the inside cover, include Carey, Stevens, Grieg, Dench, Scholl, Crocker, Pagan etc..
Re: Official 2012 NMFC Membership Tally
I am on board again. With the Aussie dollar being so strong, it took a few more Singapore dollars to do it, but just love being part of our great club. Hope to hop on down sometime this year to catch a game.
Go Kangas!
Signed up again last week for 2011.
Despite managing to see only 1 game in the last 6 years, on account of being the Singapore Roo in the "lion city", I have done what I have always did in those last 6 years and bought an 11 game membership.
Having the membership and reading the Big Footy...
